LeadingAge Iowa is partnering with LeadingAge Illinois to offer a Dementia Leadership Course.

For more than 20 years, LeadingAge Illinois and Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center have offered the Dementia Leadership Course, a comprehensive educational series intended to provide Dementia Leaders with information they need to develop their skills and grow in their roles. Now that the content is offered in a remote fashion, LeadingAge Iowa members are able to benefit from the content as well.

The additional series has been developed to supplement the Dementia Leadership Network Course. Although completion of the Dementia Leadership Course is encouraged, it is not a pre-requisite for the series.

Who Should Attend
Directors of Alzheimer’s Special Care Units and Memory Care Programs, Staff Educators, Nurse Managers, Therapists, Social Workers, Life Enrichments Directors, Chaplains, CNAs, Home Care, Adult Day Care, Memory Care staff, Dietary personnel, and Administrators. Appropriate for skilled nursing, assisted living, and home and community-based services.
